Nick Cannon Back to Work After Hospitalization

On January 17, Tuesday,Nick Cannon returned to the office for his first day back to work after being hospitalized for kidney failure two weeks ago. After an initial diagnosis of kidney stones, doctors determined that Cannon's kidneys were beginning to fail thanks to an overdose of protein, medication he was taking and a lack of proper sustenance. Sitting at his desk, Cannon told MTV that his road to recovery includes a new diet, which forces him to cut back on some of his favorite eats.

"I'm feeling good, I'm in the office, I'm grinding, the only thing that sucks is that I'm on the renal diet," Cannon said. "It's all about healthy living and fueling your system, but I don't get to eat the things that I like to eat. You've got to stay hydrated and (eat) fruits and vegetables for breakfast."

After admitting that a more typical breakfast would usually include Lucky Charms cereal ("I can't have none of that stuff anymore"), Cannon explained that simple foods like oats are now on the menu.

"Not even the good oatmeal," Cannon said. "Real oats, like horse-feed stuff -- but it's cool. I've got to start to love it."
